Book, Sheet Music

Learning the music alphabet and other musical nomenclature away from the piano helps young children begin to more fully comprehend the language of music, similar to the varied language arts and math instruction they receive in pre-school, kindergarten and primary grades. The Prep Course Theory Books contain sequential music-readiness activities such as identifying treble and bass clef note names, measuring intervals, reading and clapping rhythm patterns, and computing simple note value equations. All examples are correlated to pages in the Prep Course Lesson Books.

Designed to coordinate page-by-page with the Lesson Books, each Theory Book contains enjoyable games and quizzes that reinforce the principles presented in the Lesson Books. Students can increase their musical understanding while they are away from the keyboard.
